Lojban has inherited none. Typographic tradition is per script. Lojban did not create its own script. It borrowed the roman alphabet. #If arbitrary typographic traditions are acceptable, then there is #every reason to assert that we ought to be writing it top to bottom #right to left, like the kanji-using languages. Or maybe you meant to #say "western european typographic tradition". Or "typographic #tradition that suits me". I meant "roman alphabet-using typographic tradition". For Lojban written in arabic script, the arabic script tradition applies. Same for Lojban in katakana. And so forth. --And.
